Tucked away in the quiet hills of Arashiyama, Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple offers a delightful and unique experience for visitors seeking something off the beaten path. This serene temple is famous for its collection of over 1,200 stone statues of rakan (disciples of Buddha), each with a distinct and often humorous expression. The statues, carved by worshippers in the 1980s, display a variety of moods and activities, from joyful smiles to quirky postures, making the temple a lighthearted yet spiritual destination.

While our tour doesn’t visit Otagi Nenbutsuji, we’ll guide you through some of the most iconic sites in the Arashiyama area.
